I wanted to preface this by saying that I'm very grateful for those of you who have checked out this story. After a long period of reconsideration and working on other projects, I have decided to go over a lot of revisions for this story. Looking back on how it was, I was not happy with how it turned out to be.

I felt it was painfully rushed and riddled with basic writing. Henceforth, I will be redoing the series. While I have already redone the entire first chapter, upon finding more pieces of inspiration, even bigger changes may be due in the future that will make this far, far different to how it is currently. Even more than I was initially anticipating.

I will leave you with a list of things to expect going into the revised version of TOWBB:

1.) Annabeth will no longer be involved in this. Nothing against the character, as I still love Annabeth so much. However, upon reconsideration, I found that she stuck out far too much as literally every other character I had the thought to include originated from a cartoon or anime of some kind, or just an animated series in general, while Annabeth is the only book character. I tried to find more book characters to include, but none satisfied me. So, Annabeth had to go. I hope that does not hurt anyone too much.

2.) Moka will act more like her more widely recognized self, with the Inner and Outer selves intact instead of the After Story idea I was initially trying to handle. Quite frankly, I just find the concept both more appealing and more interesting. Not to mention, Outer Moka is a doll.

3.) The backstory between now Moka and Touka will be FAR different from what I had before. The backstory between them was something I was just not happy with, because it felt too basic and too angsty and overall just juvenile compared to the type of writer I pride myself on being.

Thank you all for your understanding. If you have any feedback or suggestions to make this story more of en enjoyable read, just based on the characters and concepts I have shown from this initial draft, please let me know. I'm planning to delete this version and upload a new one as soon as I can, so please move on to that one when you see it up.

I do hope to get this story out there and have it make waves, as I really enjoy this concept and hope that it resonates with other people. I know I'm kind of leaving a drop of water in a sea right now considering the vast number of Ben 10 X-Overs that exist already, but hopefully given time and with a better version to read, more people will find it.

So once again, thank you for your consideration and until next time, be sure to let me know your thoughts, and take care.
